ROSE PLANT Filed Feb. 14, 1973 cu v United States Patent Peace X Happiness with vpollen roman unnamed seedling whose parents were an unnamed seedling Garnet'te,

The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new red flowered rose variety of the floribunda class particularly suitable for use as a greenhouse cut flower.

This objective was substantially achieved along with other desirable improvements as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics which are outstanding in the new variety and which distinguish it from its parents as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:

I. A vigorous habit of growth.

2. Stiff, erect stems.

3. Dark red buds near Wilsons Chrysanthemum crimson opening into lighter flowers of Wilsons Currant red.

4. Between 25-30 petals.

5. Very long vase life, lasting 10 days to 2 weeks as a cut flower after proper cooling.

6. A near immunity to rose powdery mildew.

7. Light, spicy fragrance.

This new variety is in some ways similar, but in no way genetically related to, the variety Mary DeVor, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,838. It is very much unlike all other varieties of which I am aware.

A. Buds are longer, more pointed than Mary DeVor.

B. Stems are thicker, stronger than Mary DeVor.

C. Has a much higher resistance to rose powdery mildew than Mary DeVor.

D. Open flowers of these two varieties are similar in color and form.

Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding, as performed at Wasco, Calif., proves that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions reproduce true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.

The accompanying drawing shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of this new variety in different stages of development, depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character.

The following is a detailed description of my new rose variety with color terminology in accordance with Wilsons Horticultural Color Chart, except where ordinary dictionary significance of color is indicated.
